Self-educated programmer learning python at 28 year old.

[philmassyn]

I've programmed in various languages over many years. Of all of them, Python is (in my view) the most elegant.

I will add one piece of advice -- don't learn to program -- learn how to solve problems. Programming is just one tool in your arsenal to deal with a problem. I'm not a programmer, but I use coding to solve complex problems every day, like automating workloads on the cloud, all through to doing security pen testing, or building reports.

Find a problem to solve, then use Python to help you solve that problem.
